One Tuesday Morning | Karen Kingsbury
post image

where were you that day
when it all went away — the
world that we once knew.

day of infamy,
thousands lost — landscape of our
world forever changed.

I have that morning burned into my memory. I was a senior in a private high school & we were in chapel. One of my teachers came in to tell us what happened. We had his class next hour & sat there listening to the towers collapse on the radio. #neverforget ♥️🤍💙

CBee Thank you for posting this. It seems like it‘s being overshadowed by other news today and we must #neverforget. I was 24, and when I saw it on TV I thought it was an action movie at first 😢 11h
Cuilin @CBee agreed. It was my due date, I was convinced I would go into labor. My husband had an interview in a tower in Boston. They called and canceled it as they were evacuating all tall buildings in the city. Such a sad day #NeverForget. @JenlovesJT47 lovely tribute 11h

CBee @Cuilin I can‘t imagine being pregnant on that day! And your due date! Wow. 11h
ImperfectCJ I was at work, and we followed it on the radio then on TV before we were sent home. My dad worked in the Pentagon, so it was a relief when we could finally get through by phone and confirm he was okay. (His section of the building was under construction, so he was working off-site, but I didn't know that until the evening.) Thank you for posting this. 11h
JenlovesJT47 @CBee I spent the morning watching news footage on YouTube, don‘t know why I do this to myself every year but we must #neverforget 🫂♥️🤍💙 11h
JenlovesJT47 @ImperfectCJ that‘s so scary that he worked at the Pentagon! There‘s not tons of footage from there so I don‘t know much about it but I‘m glad he wasn‘t there. Such an awful day 🫂♥️💙🤍 11h
JenlovesJT47 @Cuilin being pregnant and that being your due date on top of everything, I can‘t imagine. Glad your husband wasn‘t there. So awful. 🫂♥️🤍💙 11h

This book was a wonderful story about how the town of Gander, Newfoundland stepped up to receive thousands of detoured passengers after the US skies were forced to close after the events of 9/11. These residents stopped what they were doing and assisted everyone with food, lodging, clothes, & whatever else they needed to make sure they were all cared for & cared about. It really showed how good people could be to one another.

Life is a comedy of disorientation about people who believe in, commit to, and act on the erroneous.

Suspension: A Novel | Robert Westfield

A mondegreen is a misinterpretation the ear makes of a spoken (or sung) line. The term is derived from part of a folk ballad-- “They have slain the Earl of Moray/ And laid him on the green“-- which was misheard by Sylvia Wright (who coined the term) as “They have slain the Earl of Moray and Lady Mondegreen.“

I'd learned that the best response to a world conspiring against you is not to isolate yourself but to throw yourself more wholeheartedly into it.
